In pickling, bay leaves impart crisp-keeping powers to my brined (salt; ‘sour’) cucumbers. No bay leaf = mushy pickles. More bay = firm/crunchy pickles. Protip: oak leaves work for this as well - if you don’t want to cheat and just use some pickle crisp (calcium chloride).
I’m not sure that they impart any flavor…

It’s because all this was known *at the exact same time* as Comey was announcing details about Clinton investigation being OFF ON OFF. One side got investigated in public; the other side in private. Why point fingers at the FSB when you can (and should) be pointing them at the head of the FBI?
OMG I *just* got that reference: it’s just like *Heaven* Can Wait! but changing it so that heaven was painfully unfunny and morbidly obese. Got it.
I compost too - wait until the grounds are just warm, then use a small spatula - in the compost in about 10 seconds; a few leftover grounds will be left in the top. Soap and water clean the filter + glass top easily; the bottom pot I only clean with soap every 2-3 weeks - very little oily residue gets back down to the…

My current speakers - I have had to put isolators underneath them to prevent them from disturbing (apartment) neighbors, but they are great and do not require a subwoofer companion.

The original Eisenhower Interstate (freeways & highways) project was kicked off near the start of the cold war as a project designed to let American troops and material quickly move to where they may be needed in the case of a “commie invasion”. Sad how the party that made our national (vs. city & state) road…

Most political historians agree that Trump/Carson lost their campaign mainly by riling up their base so badly that most ended up in jail for assaulting foreigners, the transgendered, women’s health care workers and those of non-white skin color.

I just hope this movie comes out before Valentines Day 2016 - they day the world is going to end according to The Alien at the Paramus Holiday Inn.
Tony and Bruce *attempt* to build an AI based on Jarvis code to have semi-sentient police bots who can replace the Avengers with a “scale-able” army (IE: you can have enough to fight 1000 bad guys; you can build more to fight 10,000). It doesn’t work. They recognize a vastly superior “AI-like” code base running in…
I'd love to see a compare/contrast of the F-35 program today with the F-15/16/18 programs of yester-decades. IE: were these things just crap for the first 10 years of their inception, only slowly becoming the backbone of the navy/air force - or were they amazing examples of air power right out of the gate? What would…
